My present plans are to devote the day to the British Museum.  I've only been to London twice before and as is typical for business travel, usually have just a little time for leisure.  Past visits have included Westminster Abbey and the Tower of London.

Being a clothes hound, I'd consider spending time browsing the shops, but (1) I'm not a big fan of just taking up the staffs' time if I don't intend to buy, and (2) my obvious choice would be shoos but I figure that unless I want to spend at least the equivalent of $1200 (give or take a little), I should just stick to the US market here at home.  Does anyone want to talk me out of those thoughts?  When in Paris I bought a few ties at Charvet; is there an equivalent 'quintessential London' item?

Still haven't decided what to do for dinner on Friday night. Someplace in Mayfair maybe?
